Detroit Monitor

The Detroit Monitor (now called the New Monitor) is a weekly newspaper that has been published in the metropolitan Detroit, Michigan area since 1963. Founded as the Downtown Monitor, its banner name has undergone a number of minor changes, known for many years up to early 2009 simply as The Monitor. In May 2009, the newspaper changed its name to the New Monitor to reflect some changes in design and content. The newspaper's primary editorial focus has been on the arts and culture, with writers and reviewers covering such beats as theatre, music and film. There is also a heavy emphasis on local community events, plus some coverage of sports and education. The New Monitor's primary circulation area is the downtown area of Detroit, along with the nearby Cultural Center area, New Center area, Midtown and Medical Center, plus the high and low-rise neighborhoods of Lafayette and Elmwood Park, Harbortown, East Jefferson and Historic Indian Village communities. The publication is available free in newspaper stands and other locations throughout the metro Detroit area and nearby suburbs. Horst Mann has been its editor since 1972.
